We Have Met the Enemy

12/25/2011

We have met the enemy - disguised as physical pain and illness, slander, injustice, ridicule, financial woe, false religion of men and devils, hunger, desire for comfort or notice, and loss of loved ones. The enemy has disguised himself in every form of twisted envy, hatred, pride, ambition, laziness, and malady.

We have met the enemy - and he has vetted us.

Praise be to God.

1Peter 1:6-7, 4:1-2
